APPLICATION
The H1008A,D Automatic Humidity Controls with
HumidiCalc+™ Software are duct mounted and provide
automatic, low voltage, electronic control of by-pass flow-
through, powered flow-through, steam and drum humidifi-
ers in central heating systems. The H1008D also controls
heat/energy recovery units and dehumidifiers. The
H1008A,D are designed to automatically adjust the
humidity level based on indoor temperature and humidity,
inferred or measured outdoor temperature and the setting
of the frost factor dial. The frost factor setting is used to
maintain a comfortable humidity level in the home while
reducing moisture condensation on inside windows. The
HumidiCalc+™ Software infers the outdoor temperature by
monitoring the equipment cycles and eliminates the need
for an outdoor temperature sensor when used on single-
stage gas or oil furnaces. With the use of the C7089H
Outdoor Temperature Sensor (purchased separately), the
H1008A,D also provide automatic humidity control in heat
pump and multi-stage systems.

the humidifier (or dehumidifier/ventilator supply air) in the
return air duct where it can be exposed to the air stream of
the return air. See Fig. 1.

MINIMUM
RETURN AIR DUCT
Use the following procedure to mount the H1008A,D in the
return air duct:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Do not install H1008 on supply air. Temperatures
in excess of 120 ° F cause the control to go into
error mode. If mounting near an elbow area,
keep the control 6 in. (152 mm) upstream from
the elbow so that the humidity and temperature
sensor is exposed to the normal airflow (Fig.1).
